If a student is good at self-reflection and goal setting at the end of a problem-solving experience, follows through on the goal to actually improve that aspect of his or her performance, sets new goals and carries them out to continue his or her improvement, the “Cycle” morphs into a “Spiral.” Our graphic titled the Spiral of Continuous improvement shows this long-term process. We have separate Spirals of Continuous Performance for students, classroom teachers, non-classroom faculty, school administrators, and district administrators.
